3ds battery life is 3-5 hours ...just like the DS-i

I find it kinda odd that the reference for the DSi in highest brightness is 3-4 hours.

My DSi XL lasts much more than 4 hours in highest brightness, even with the Wi-Fi turned on. With Wi-Fi turned off, it can go up to 7 hours.

The DSi XL has a larger case, so this allowed for a bigger battery being built in. That's where the discrepancy in battery life between the regular and the XL version of the DSi comes from.

Yeah and the 3DS is supposed to be around the size of a DSi, but still I've heard many people with a DSi haven't had that short of a battery life, but Nintendo talks bare minimums and usually testing over time since batteries lose charge, like my Lite has been a fighter, surviving falls and such but the battery in it is dying a slow painful (for me) death, it only lasts about 3 hours now on highest brightness, Nintendo factors things like that in I assume.
